Chapter 181
"It's okay." Gu Xiaobei shook his head, then stared at the night outside and became dazed again.

"Aren't you feeling well? Go back to sleep first, and we'll wake you up to drink the Laba porridge when it's ready. At worst, you can drink it tomorrow." Gu Datian said to Gu Xiaobei with concern.

"Well, then you guys go ahead and don't worry about me. If I want to eat, I can eat by myself." Gu Xiaobei nodded, stood up and walked out of the kitchen.

Seeing Gu Xiaobei going out of the house a little out of control, Gu Sanlin looked at her back thoughtfully, opened his mouth to say something to his brothers, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Gu Xiaobei went back to his room and lay down for a while, but tossed and turned, he just couldn't fall asleep, thinking all the time, should he go to Bai Qingli's appointment?
I don't know how long it took, Gu Xiaobei sighed, turned over and sat up, put on a big coat, lit a lantern, and walked out of the room. Originally, she wanted to go to the kitchen to tell Gu Datian, but I also thought that there were a lot of people inside today, so going in and telling them must be another explanation, which is very troublesome.So she didn't go in, and after opening and closing the yard door with a lantern, she walked towards Bai's house not far away.

Before he got close to the gate of the Bai Family Courtyard, he saw a figure standing motionless by the gate in the darkness.At this time, it was already very dark, and the weather was very cold. People in the village who were reluctant to part with lamp oil and firewood were all asleep, and those who didn't sleep were also nestled at home to warm up and chat, so there was not a single villager in Gu Xiaobei during the short section of the road. meet.Now suddenly there was a person standing outside the gate of Bai's house, Gu Xiaobei was naturally terrified, and approached calmly with a lantern, only to find that the figure was Bai Qingli, she was relieved.

"Why are you standing here?" Gu Xiaobei glared at Bai Qingli, who was quietly looking at her, and scolded angrily.

Bai Qingli curled her lips slightly, and said softly, "I'm waiting for you!"

Gu Xiaobei was taken aback, frowned and said, "I can't wait inside?"

"I thought you weren't coming." Bai Qingli answered the question in a non-essential way.

Gu Xiaobei curled his lips and said: "Since you are here, let's just make it clear here, and I won't go in." After speaking, he was relieved.

"What? Are you afraid?" Bai Qingli asked with a half-smile.

Gu Xiaobei snorted: "Who is scared? It's just that I don't think it's necessary to go in. Anyway, it doesn't matter where I say it."

"It's different." Bai Qingli shook her head.

"Why is it different?" Just as Gu Xiaobei finished speaking, he suddenly felt ice in his hands. Looking down, he saw Bai Qingli reaching out to take the lantern in her hand, and the hand covering hers was so cold. , like a block of ice.

Gu Xiaobei gasped, and said in disbelief, "How long have you been standing here? Why are your hands so cold?"

"I'll be standing here waiting for you before it's dark." Bai Qingli said as he took the lantern, bowed his head and went to blow it.

Gu Xiaobei rushed over to grab it, but the lantern was already extinguished, she said angrily: "You blew out my lantern, how can I go back?"

It's winter now, not like summer, the fog is heavy at night, and it's dark everywhere, and she really can't see the road without a lantern.

"I've waited for you for so long, and my whole body is frozen. Do you still want to drag me to talk outside the cold door? Are you so cruel?" Bai Qingli said coldly.

"You came out to wait by yourself, and I didn't ask you to come out and wait for me." Gu Xiaobei pouted.

"Hmph!" Bai Qingli snorted coldly.

In the darkness, Gu Xiaobei didn't see Bai Qingli's expression, but she could feel Bai Qingli staring straight at her, as if as long as she didn't go in, he would keep staring.

Gu Xiaobei was so stared at that he felt a little guilty, made Bai Qingli wait for so long, although she didn't tell him to come out and wait, but he stood outside the cold door for her and suffered the cold after all.Now that Bai Qingli has achieved this level, she would be hypocritical if she refused to go in, besides, Gu Xiaobei is not a heartless person, so naturally she would not spoil Bai Qingli's heart, so she agreed Come down, it's not like she hasn't gone in anyway, and she wasn't that worried.

"Go in, go in, who is afraid of whom?" Gu Xiaobei said with a look of death.

Bai Qingli said sarcastically: "It's okay to go in and I'll eat you. Since you are unwilling, I think it's better not to go in. Anyway, I've been frozen for so long, it doesn't matter if I get colder or colder." of."

"I went in willingly. You should be satisfied now, right? Why don't you go in quickly?" Gu Xiaobei said impatiently. She hated him saying such things in such a sly way.

In the darkness, Bai Qingli finally smiled with satisfaction, stretched out his hand to tighten Gu Xiaobei's coat, and then hugged her and pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.

Gu Xiaobei looked around nervously, seeing that the Bai family had only lighted two lanterns under the eaves, emitting a quiet light, and there was no one in the courtyard, Gu Xiaobei was relieved.

"Don't worry, most of them are asleep. Even if they are not asleep, they are still in the room, and they won't know you are coming." At this moment, Bai Qingli's voice with a smile came from above Gu Xiaobei's head.

"Hush!" Gu Xiaobei immediately signaled him to keep quiet, if someone found her and Bai Qingli together at night, it would be really embarrassing.

Seeing that she was so worried, Bai Qingli felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything. He quickened his pace and brought Gu Xiaobei into his room after a while.

"Snapped!"

Hearing that the door was gently closed, Gu Xiaobei heaved a sigh of relief, and before he recovered, Bai Qingli pushed her against the door, and immediately covered her lips.

Gu Xiaobei shuddered from Bai Qingli's cold lips, and hurriedly reached out to push Bai Qingli, who was immediately pushed away by her.Gu Xiaobei looked at his hands and then at Bai Qingli in surprise. He thought it would not be easy to push away, but unexpectedly she pushed Bai Qingli away without much effort.

"You're so cruel, I'm so cold, and you don't want to warm me up." In the dark, Bai Qingli complained.

"Hush, keep your voice down!" Gu Xiaobei hastily signaled him to keep his voice down, although Ling Muchen lived in the next room, she was worried that they would be discovered by others if they spoke too loudly.

"Coward!" Bai Qingli sneered, and gropingly took a torch from the table to light the oil lamp on the table. The oil lamp emitted a faint yellow light, neither very bright nor very dark, making the cold room a little warmer. meaning.

Bai Qingli pulled Gu Xiaobei and walked towards the bed, Gu Xiaobei was startled, hurriedly shook off his hand, and stared at Bai Qingli in horror: "What are you going to do?"

Bai Qingli laughed and said: "Don't worry, I won't eat you. There is no brazier in the room, so I have to cover the bed with a quilt to keep warm. How about you go to the kitchen and get me a brazier?"
